Outreach for Geoscience Awareness
Geosciences provide essential information for locating and exploiting mineral deposits, as well as hydrocarbon and groundwater resources, and have become indispensable for an increasing spectrum of socio-economic issues, such as infrastructure development, environmental monitoring, land-use planning and natural hazard and climate change studies.
Geosciences and geoscientists underpins sustainable economic development, but also are key pieces of a puzzle in the effective implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs aim to eradicate poverty, ensure universal access to basic services, tackle inequality, end unsustainable consumption patterns, and facilitate inclusive economic growth, social development, as well as environmental protection.
